Spring Garden Acre is a blog about our family's gardening adventures. We call our place Spring Garden Acre, because we live on Spring Road with about an acre. We're located in zone 6b of south central PA. We grow peaches, berries, vegetables and keep a few chickens for eggs and meat.

Peach Wine

My buddy recently transferred 5 gallons of our peach wine into 23 bottles. The wine is completely dry right now, at least in the sense that it has no sugar. But it doesn't taste so dry because it's very fruity, even peachy! We can sweeten it later if that's what we decide we want to do.

We harvested the peaches last summer. Then in the winter we racked, re-racked and re-racked the wine again. In the spring we bottled it, and in the fall, on Thanksgiving Day we'll get together and pop our first cork. I guess it takes every season of the year to make a good bottle of wine.
